Amazon operates in all 50 states.
For it to be a federal crime, there just needs to be federal interest. They can make it a federal crime if they're interested.
- frank2 6y agoThat's not true. To pick the first example I was able to find: In United States v. Lopez, ___ U.S.____, 115 S.Ct. 1624 (1995), the Supreme Court invalidated, as beyond the powers of Congress under the Commerce Clause, the Gun Free School Zone Act, which criminalized the possession of a firearm within 1000 feet of a school. https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-1112-constitutionality-carjacking-statute https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual...

- IncRnd 6y agoFor it to be a federal crime, there just needs to be federal interest. They can make it a federal crime if they're interested. Federal Interest doesn't define the jurisdiction of the Federal laws.
